My wife asked me to get some peanut M&Ms yesterday. (She loves them). So I went to the store.

They now have two different types that I have never seen before - Democratic ones and Republican ones. Never heard of that so I bought a package of each just to see.

When I opened the Democratic one, this is what I found.


They were all different colors and shapes.

When I opened the Republican one, they looked like this:



All the same size and all YELLOW!

Now I understand!

They’re much more interesting than the perfectly uniform, monotone ones. Surprised the repuQ m&ms aren’t all white.
